Write a reference
Create a trusted reference without signing up first.
Hiring takes about 44 days on average, strong candidates are often gone in about 10, recruiters can spend roughly three hours per reference check, and much of that feedback happens outside business hours. Traditional reference checks stay slow, manual, and easy to lose across calls, inboxes, and follow-up chasing. A stored vouch is easier to reuse, review, and complete on your own time. VouchMe helps you create and keep a written or verbal vouch so it is ready when you need it, rather than being rebuilt from scratch each time.
- 44 days to hire. 10 days to lose great candidates.
- ~3 hours spent per reference check.
- 50–65% of references happen after hours.

Why these numbers matter
These figures reflect the real delays and admin burden built into traditional reference checks: slow hiring cycles, hours spent chasing referees, and the fact that much reference feedback happens outside business hours. VouchMe is designed to make that process faster, clearer, and easier to reuse.
